Break It Down into Daily Tasks

To take even more of the pressure off of setting deadlines, you can actually add something to your to-do list each day when it comes to your plan of action. You’ll feel so much more proactive and productive when you do this. Setting up daily tasks is a particularly effective strategy for those who are easily overwhelmed by giant-seeming goals. It’s all about working the plan, remember? Taking very small actions each day might be a more manageable way for you to approach your plan, and that’s perfectly okay.

In all honestly, it’s actually a great thing. Setting daily to-do’s gives you laser focus. Completing one small piece of the puzzle is fairly easy, but the confidence you gain after getting a few things checked off your list can be incredibly motivational. You’ll want to keep the momentum going by completing more and more ticks off of your to-do list.

As with the bigger time frames, you’ll add each daily task to your calendar. For the person from our example returning to school to become a graphic designer, this can be as simple as writing down daily classroom homework. Each assignment finished is a small step closer toward obtaining that degree and beginning a dream career.
